With our new partnership with our neighbour “up the Hill”, Predator Ridge now offers one of the best golf spa vacation experiences in North America. The KurSpa at Sparkling Hill Resort offers unique European spa and wellness treatments and a great way to relax after your 18 holes.
One of the unique treatments offered at the KurSpa are the Fango body treatments. Fango (an Italian word for mud) consists of pure volcanic dust and water blended into a warm, buttery composition to detoxify skin and reinvigorate muscles. The Fango mud provides mineral nourishment and special absorbing action which rids skin of impurities while nourishing skin cells.
There are reasons why Mike Weir broke through into uncharted territory in Canadian golf, the moment he won the Masters. It all started with his mind, how it was structured and how it continually developed. The attitude and doggedness he built along the way, the actions he demanded of himself that lead to results and the cycles that pushed continual development of his belief system.
Those same reasons applied to his distinguished record of winning 8 PGA Tour events in the modern PGA Tour era. The past decade’s PGA Tour was undoubtedly stronger in depth of players than any era of the past. From my perspective, Weir’s 8 PGA Tour victories alone trump George Knudson’s 8 PGA Tour victories, no need to even bring in Weir’s Masters win. Even though comparing different eras of PGA Tour golf is an apples and oranges debate, we need only to look at depth of field relative to both eras to make a meaningful comparison. Read More »

For the hundreds of seasonal and full-time residents of Predator Ridge, being part of Canada’s premier golf resort community is just the beginning. Located a short fifteen minute drive from downtown Vernon, (pop. 35,000) – Predator Ridge residents can take advantage of cultural, recreational, and shopping experiences that this thriving North Okanagan town has to offer.
More importantly, perhaps, is Predator Ridge’s proximity to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital, one of the region’s first-class health care facilities. The Hospital Foundation recently completed fundraising for the Building a Tower of Care Campaign to equip the new Polson Tower that was completed last fall. Events at Predator Ridge have figured prominently in this $7 million project which integrates the new tower with the existing hospital. The Polson Tower houses a brand-new intensive care and coronary units, new maternity/pediatrics ward with direct links to the new operating rooms one floor below, new and more efficient central sterilization services, expanded ambulatory care and outpatient clinics, a modern Emergency Department, and provides new space for ambulances.

If you haven’t heard our news, being a Homeowner or Guest at Predator Ridge just got better! New for the 2012 season, we’ve established a partnership with our neighbours up the hill and we are now offering our guests and homeowners exclusive access to famous KurSpa at Sparkling Hill Wellness Resort.
If you haven’t heard of The KurSpa yet, let us be the first to tell you that this is a spa you need to experience! Infused with millions of Swarovski crystal elements, The KurSpa is a one of a kind European wellness spa that focuses on whole body heath and wellness through saunas, steams and rejuvenating treatments. Unlike your typical North American spa, The KurSpa offers treatments and therapies only offered in Europe each which have the underlying belief that wellness within radiates beauty.
To commemorate this new partnership and we thought we’d share some of our top recommendations for experiences at The KurSpa. Our first definitely being their signature Cold Sauna treatment.
It was 2 years ago that Jason Kelder, our Development Manager and I sat down to plan how the new project called The Tips, our first fractional real estate offering, was going to appear different and current without losing the quintessential Predator Ridge.
My inspiration has always come from the Homeowners at Predator Ridge and their quest for style, customization and above all quality. Jason and I both agreed we needed lots of wood, hence all the interior windows, doors, base and trim, great room ceiling, hardwood flooring and Cabinetry are warm, inviting Fir and Oak. The contrast that makes the palette current is the light tile and granite, modern hand cast concrete fireplace as well as glass/stainless lighting and soft wall colour.
There are many facets of fitness in the golf world today. We still see many shapes and sizes on the professional tours but truth be told, a good number of them work on some fitness outside of just hitting golf balls. On each tour, there are fitness vans that follow each week. These allow players the area to get worked on and stretched, as well as a place to run, use a stair machine, lift weights, and work on core exercises without the hassle of trying to find a local gym. Don’t get me wrong, there are still those that would rather find the local gym and get away from the golf course. Caddies are not allowed in the tour vans so you see them a lot at the local spots each week…even they need to keep up their fitness! Read More »
After a long winter’s break, I am sure the thought of returning to the luscious green grass sounds very appealing, but perhaps slightly daunting. Often times our ‘feel’ and touch around the greens seems to still be on vacation and left somewhere between Christmas decorations and Spring Cleaning.
Well, fear not! We are here to begin the dusting off of the short game so that you can hit the links and enjoy the game from the start of the season– and for us, that’s tomorrow– yay opening day! Read More »
